Same here. My Dad is a life-long ham radio operator and if I hear a WWV broadcast now, it takes me back to my childhood in a flash.

On a related note, I always liked the British time announcements that used three tones, with the designated time being "at the third stroke". It's like a music conductor conducting a measure before you start playing or singing. I wonder if it's measurably more accurate than just playing a tone with the proper time is reached.
